I'm not Indian but I've seen bits of Mahabharat and it's amazing. Pankaj Dheer's performance as Karn was so powerful and emotional. This note from Nikitin is heartbreaking yet beautiful - you can feel the love and loss. Condolences to the family, may his soul rest in peace.

Pankaj sir was a gem - his role in Zee Horror Show gave me nightmares as a kid, but what a performer! Losing a parent is never easy, especially when you share the same profession. Nikitin and Kratika are a lovely couple, hope he finds strength in his family. Har Har Mahadev 🕉️

So sad to read this. My father passed away last year too and I know exactly how Nikitin feels - those little things like a hug become the most precious memories. Pankaj Dheer ji was an amazing actor, I remember watching Dastak and Kanoon with my family. His legacy lives on through his work and his son.

While I feel for Nikitin's loss, I have to say it's strange that Indian news outlets keep covering this almost a year after his passing. Pankaj Dheer was a talented actor no doubt, but the media tends to milk celebrity grief for clicks. Still, my condolences to the family - losing a parent is one of life's hardest experiences.

Pankaj Dheer was more than just Karn - he was a versatile actor who brought dignity to every role. I loved him in Dhruv Tara too.
